Down Syndrome International To Honor Ashley DeRamus In India

Hoover, Alabama (July 21, 2015) Ashley DeRamus will be traveling to India August 7th through August 22nd. On the 21st Ashley will be honored by Down Syndrome International (DSi) as advocate of the year 2015.

Ashley is using this opportunity to reach out and help those in need by raising funds to assist a school in India. She is asking for your help to supply materials and some new programs. The money will be used to supply Friendship International School, a Christian Orphan School in India, when Ashley visits.

“I am so excited and honored to be able to travel to India and receive this award but even more excited to visit the school and help the children have what they need to learn.” Ashley stated.

Could you please support Ashley with a donation of what ever you can. All of the funds raised will go directly to the school. A Go Fund Me account has been set up for this cause. http://www.gofundme.com/zjag5wg .
